witty and full of pranks. to meet her
was never to forget her. Happening
to be placed with q party of young
people at hotel table whcro Dries
bach was sitting, some Inc dared
her TO pass him dish of onions.
Immediately scizing the dish. she
not only passed it, but inquired If he
would have an onion. He said he
would. and took one; and from so
small beginning sprung an acquaint-
ancc that in three months ended in
marriage. 1t was singular match.
and people long wondered If the
dauntlcss lion-,amcr would have equal
success in tanning his wife.

vcrsy began. and continued until this
needless pair decided that there was
but one way TO settle the question OF
who was tho most desperate ilir'.

He kept his word, and they pro-
cecdcd To- make themselves mutually
agreeable. Saturday he sent box of
roses; Sunday he joined her at church,
and she invited him TO dinner; Monday
he took her to the thcatcr; Tuesday to
drive, and so on. Jacques pcrpctually
blossomed OH her table; and. If day

messenger boy was. At the end of
the three weeks Blondcl inquired if

Meanwhile society had something to
talk about. and three more weeks sped
away. Then he proposed; and she rose
in her wrath. and told him that ilirt-
